So baseball's Winter Meetings have concluded, and it looks like the
Yankees and the Red Sox are about to get in a bidding war for Johan
Santana. And of course, we all know that this will end with #57 in
pinstripes, taking his place among the pantheon of great Yankee
hurlers: Whitey Ford, Catfish Hunter, Carl Pavano... </span></td>

Mikey, tell you what, Hank Steinbrenner is playing this perfectly. When
you're negotiating with another GM, the best thing to do is change your
mind over and over again, and talk about it publicly all the time.
There's absolutely no way that could backfire and make you look like a
spoiled three-year-old. </span></td>

And the Mets *snicker* say that they're making a play for Santana, but
we all know they don't have the horses to pull this off. I mean, the
Yankees are offering Melky Cabrera, for crying out loud. What Mets

You're a thousand percent right, Mikey. The Mets are NOT in the mix
here. The only way I see them landing Santana is if the front offices
of the Yanks and Sox are destroyed by two separate meteors striking the

Listen, I've been talking with Omar Minaya. I talk with important
people all the time. And he told me that the Twins are asking for David
Wright, Jose Reyes, and Carlos Beltran's first born son. And even if he
agreed to that deal, there's still NO WAY that package compares to the
Yankees' offer of Ian Kennedy and some guy in the minors whose name
escapes me. </span></td>

It's been pretty quiet in the Hot Stove League, but there's some
rumblings that the Santana sweepstakes could be ending very soon.
There's reports that the Mets have become the favorites to land the
lefty, which frankly, I do not believe. I have a LOT of contacts in the
industry, and everyone tells me that the Twins piss on the Mets'
prospects. Literally. I heard Bill Smith sent a jar of his urine to the

sign Johan Santana. We all know Fred Wilpon passed on Vladimir
Guerrero, he passed on A-Rod, I've heard he wears socks two days in a

sign Livan Hernandez and finish in third place. </span></td>

So now we're hearing that the Mets have landed Santana, which is
something I've been saying would happen for weeks now. Naturally,
Santana wants to be a Yankee, but the Yanks won't give up their very
special prospects. This is a good move by Brian Cashman, showing
financial restraint. This is the NEW Yankees, the GROW FROM WITHIN
Yankees. If there's anything Yankees fans want to see, it's guys just
up from triple-A face Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. </span></td>

Excellent point, Mikey. And I tell you one thing: this is only for the
money. There is NO WAY Santana wanted to be a Met. I'm sure someone
told him Queens is the same thing as the Bronx. He's from Minnesota, so
he has no idea about different boroughs. And maybe he's colorblind, so
he won't realize the pinstripes on his uniform aren't navy blue. </span></td>

haha that's great JG, I hate that show with a passion.....I really cannot watch it or listen to it.

Do you have the flu? It's been going around like crazy...

MJ, Whoopi was a mistake to use at the Giants ceremony at City Hall, she didn't know what
she was doing or saying, I thought maybe she was just joking but I don't think so.

Also, Mayor Bloomberg called Bob Pappa....Bob Popper!!!! And I said, POPPER? Are you kidding me???
